Answers:
Technically, yes. Fever blisters are caused by HSV-1, a virus that USUALLY stays in the mouth area. Genital herpes are caused by HSV-2, a virus that USUALLY stays in the genital area. However, as you can guess by the similarity in names, there is some crossover. If he was infective at the time he performed oral sex, she has a possibility of getting herpes of the genitals. (That being said, nothing in life is ever 100%, so it doesn't mean that she will actually GET herpes from him).Health Question & Answer
